Four Color Culture seeks to illuminate not only the history of mainstream American comic books, but also the ways in which comics have taken an active part in the political, social, and cultural life of the United States for the past seventy-six years. From World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to racism, the Civil Rights Movement, and the campaigns for LGBT equality, to 9/11 and beyond, comics have always taken part in the national debate. Questioning, educating, challenging, and agitating, American comic books have never been “just kids’ stuff.” Four Color Culture reveals comics’ ability to help shape American history yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
